Use **Exclude service accounts** in the SCIM provider settings when you do not want service accounts to be synchronized.

Users that are synchronized via a SCIM provider are controlled through application access policies. When a SCIM provider is configured as a backchannel provider for an application, only users who are bound to that application are synchronized. A common setup is to bind a group to the SCIM application so that all members of that group are synchronized to the target SCIM endpoint.
